I really appreciate the info...this will help a lot. Also helped me know what the spout is after reading so much about it. I don't claim much experience or knowledge when working with cars but this has been interesting.

I will most likely not get much opportunity to dig in until the weekend, busy week, but looking forward to it and making sure I know what I need to do.

Hey Amooset, Yougot that 5.0 CFI on? how's it runnin?

Yay for thread hijacking!

You bet I did. I had to hack away at the choke mount on the v8 TB because it interferred with the egr plate, but other than that it was pretty easy. Basically what I did was swap out the bottom part of the throttle body and put the original top part (w/ injectors and pressure regulator) back on. There is a lot better acceleration through the mid range. Before there used to be kind of a dead spot in the middle. It actually runs like I think it should have run from the factory. It runs better at WOT than it used to. The peak performance used to happen at about 3/4 throttle and then it would just drop off if you floored it. A definate must-do swap for anyone.
